What exactly do you need?
What are you trying to do?

I have an old set in my garage and could give a look for you/.

I’m restoring it back to stock; the previous owner bent the stock bars in and towards the rider.

Still not sure what measurements  you want but here goes.

Inside tip to tip 30'
grip area to bend 9'
center bend to bend 8 1/4'

Not sure I would want to use any bars that have been bent once..let alone twice? Or were you looking to buy somthing in a junk yard to replace them?

Want to buy mine? They are in good shape.

Thanks for the info. Been out most of the day, so sorry I was not able to get back to you sooner.  I am trying to get the bike into mint condition and trying to figure out do I go with OEM or after market bars?  The dimensions you gave were exactly what I was searching for.  As for your bars I’m really looking for new or new condition if yours are in new condition then I would be interested.

Thanks
Bill

If I had them show up in the mail for a project of mine, I would be happy.
There is some slight surface rust on the bottom of the bends, I will see if it comes off tomorow.

Here is one on Ebay at $42.00 with 16 bids 2 days left.

Wow your bike looks great you did a good job.  My bike looks like the first pic you show except black,  I just synced the carbs today & ordered new tires from American motorcycle tire. Got the continental super twin series looks kind of retro. Next week I’m getting it registered ($320 in calif) and insurance. So the boss says hold off on any more spending.
